- do dithering when converting from 16bit to 8bit (only when saving with transparency)
- fixed build problem with some distributions
- many other GUI tweaks and bugfixes

Color history is certainly the preview of a future most sophisticated colour palette tool interface. The colour history is accessed by pressing quickly several time the secondary stylus button or the right mouse button. The actual colour four previous colours can be chosen. This help the work-flow with coherent colour palette.

The background interface allow to choose in a pre-existing patterns palette or to choose a plain colour (and add it). For now interface doesn’t allow to add own pattern, need to add them on the backgrounds directory using system tools:
~/.mypaint/backgrounds (thanks to Martin Renold for the advise)
Or more generally for a multiuser system:
/usr/share/mypaint/backgrounds/

Several predefined (64x64) backgrounds

Several predefined (64x64) backgrounds, and ability to choose plain color

Updated list of default brush. I added the David Revoy brushes,(concept artist of the Durian Project), the first brush set with little text at bottom. Among interesting new brushsles, H to 8B pencils. Tools near from paint knives (blue tools).

  1. Superbe millésime par sa rapidité, et la possibilité de changer l’aspect du rond primaire de la brosse
    je suis totalement emballé par cette nouvelle version de Mypaint qui arrive à pic avec mes besoins productifs du moment sous ce logiciel. Jolie travail aux développeurs !
    L’enregistrement itératif pour les scraps est vraiment un bonheur pour enchainer les sketch sans avoir à reprendre un clavier dans les mains pour marquer un nom de fichier.
    Merci également à tes articles très bien fait , et pour les liens que tu fais vers mes travaux et presets de brosse encore basic dans les deux derniers articles.

  2. Bonjour,
    excusez-moi si je vais faire des erreurs en français, je suis italien.
    Je voudrais savoir si l\’exportation des images peute-être
    supérieure à 72 DPI.
    Je travail normalement en 300-600 dpi
    avec niveaux importés en GIMP.
    Salut

  3. Luca : peux importe les DPI, il ne gère pas les DPI, il s’agit de toute façon d’une application bitmap, qui ne gère ni scanner ni imprimante.
    Tu peux faire le calcul simplement a partir d’une feuille blanche scannée ou d’une calculatrice :
    Pour un A4 :
    (21,29.7)cm * 300 = (6300, 8910)pixels
    (21,29.7)cm * 600 = (12600, 17820)pixels
